After leaving the capital, Zhao Junchen and his party rushed westward without stopping.
Almost all of the team of nearly three hundred people were riding on horseback, and most of them were imperial guards wearing flying fish robes. The journey was quite majestic and the scenery was endless. All the pedestrians hurriedly retreated to both sides, their attitudes full of impatience.
Awe.
However, the carriage at this time did not have anti-shock technology and the road conditions were not good, so Zhao Junchen only stayed in the carriage for half a day before he could no longer stand the bumps and felt that his internal organs were about to move out of place. Naturally,
He couldn't feel the scenery at all, and he quickly left the carriage, riding a horse like most people, and further practicing his riding skills.
Riding a horse is certainly hard work, but it is much easier than riding a horse-drawn carriage.
At this time, it was already the time of autumn harvest. There were many pedestrians on the road, and many people were busy in the fields on both sides of the road. Zhao Junchen looked around from his horse and felt that the world was vast and unrestrained, and he felt much more relaxed.
.
In fact, after leaving the capital, although he knew that his future was full of crises, Zhao Junchen's mood had always been very relaxed. He had stayed in the capital for too long to scheming and scheming against others.
He is constantly scheming against himself. No matter what he wants to do, he is always constrained. He always has to consider all aspects of his attitude. The risks are no less than those on the battlefield. Naturally, Zhao Junchen feels deeply exhausted.
Now, Zhao Junchen has left the capital as an imperial envoy. When he arrived in Shanxi and Shaanxi-Gansu, officials from several provinces respected him and no longer had to worry about others plotting against him, nor would they encounter too much trouble.
With so many constraints, this feeling is like a tiger letting loose in the mountains and a dragon returning to the sea. It is indescribably comfortable.
Therefore, while riding his horse and feeling the breeze coming towards him, Zhao Junchen always looked very comfortable.
At the same time, after seeing Zhao Junchen leave the carriage and seeing Zhao Junchen in a good mood, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Hong Gaogong was immediately overjoyed. He quickly rode his horse to Zhao Junchen's side, constantly looking for topics, and wanted to talk to him.
Zhao Junchen further narrowed the relationship.
Although Zhao Junchen was not happy with Hong Gaogong, Zhao Junchen was not indifferent to Hong Gaogong's entanglement. On the contrary, he had nothing to do with Hong Gaogong, but he found out from Hong Gaogong the relationship between many nobles and nobles of the imperial court.
The secret information about Jin Yiwei is not nothing.
Not long after, the team at the rear stopped for a moment, and then they saw Bao Wenjie, the Minister of Rites, also leaving the carriage and riding a horse, and quickly drove the horse to Zhao Junchen's side.
After seeing Bao Wenjie catching up, Zhao Junchen smiled and said, "Master Bao can't stand the bumps of the carriage anymore?"
At this time, Bao Wenjie was in his prime and had always been in good health, but he was still pale and weak at this time. He smiled bitterly and said: "After leaving the capital, the road conditions were not good. Riding in a carriage was too bumpy, especially when we were rushing
The journey to Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu was non-stop, and it was really a pleasure to sit in the carriage."
Zhao Junchen smiled again and said: "I am even more miserable than Mr. Bao. I left the carriage early. Although riding is not easy, it is better than the constant bumps... That's why Your Majesty will let you and I go to Shaanxi and Gansu."
Investigate over there, because among the qualified ministers in the court, you and I are the only ones who can afford to go through such trouble."
Seeing that Zhao Junchen was also complaining, Hong Gaogong immediately took advantage of the opportunity and said with concern: "If Mr. Zhao is tired, how about we go to the roadside to rest for a while? Before I left Beijing, I brought some astragalus, angelica, cinnamon, and
Drinking these soups is the best way to relieve fatigue, and you can also pay tribute to Mr. Zhao when the time comes."
Zhao Junchen raised his head and took a look at the sky, only to find that it was just noon. Although the sun was very strong, it was still bearable. We had just entered Xuanhua Mansion, and it was too early to rest now.
However, before Zhao Junchen could speak, Bao Wenjie next to him frowned and said, "How can that be done? Mr. Zhao went to Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi to investigate the disappearance of disaster relief money and food. The most important thing is that it is very important and must be done as soon as possible.
Solve it, if we delay even for an hour, we will delay the well-being and hope of countless victims. What is a little happiness? If we rest now, how long will it take for us to arrive in Shanxi and Shaanxi and Gansu? How long will it take to find the money and food for disaster relief?
The truth about the disappearance? If we wait until the relief food is distributed to the people, won't everything be delayed?"
Seeing that Bao Wenjie objected before Zhao Junchen could express his position, Hong Gaogong didn't buy it. He looked at Bao Wenjie sideways and said, "Master Bao, you are just the deputy imperial envoy. Whether we want to leave or rest depends on Master Zhao's wishes."
, I’m afraid it’s not your turn to decide yet, right?”
Hearing Hong Gaogong's statement, Bao Wenjie immediately became angry and was about to retort and scold him, but Zhao Junchen had already raised his hand to stop the further conflict between the two, and said slowly: "The journey all morning is really tiring.
, but it’s not appropriate to just rest on the roadside like this... Hong Qianhu, further ahead is Huailai County, right?”
Originally, Zhao Junchen thought that although Hong Gaogong was a playboy, he was still a member of the Qianhu family of Jinyiwei, and at least he was very aware of the distribution of prefectures and counties around the capital. Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Hong Gaogong was slightly stunned for a moment, and then turned around to call for him.
He met an old-looking and cold-faced Jinyiwei Baihu. After chatting softly with him for a few words, he returned to Zhao Junchen and said, "Master Zhao is wise. Go west for more than thirty miles."
, which is Huailai County."
After hearing what Hong Gaogong said, Zhao Junchen nodded slightly, but he was wary of the Jin Yiwei Baihu just now.
This Baihu was about thirty years old, with a thick build and dark skin. He was obviously not from a distinguished family, but he had taken the position of Qianhu, the Jinyiwei guard, by virtue of his real ability. Moreover, his eyes were bright, and his body on the horse looked like
He was as straight as a javelin, and although he had been traveling all morning, his expression did not show any signs of fatigue, which further showed that this person was very different from those pampered and intimidating Jin Yiwei.
Hong Gaogong is obviously a playboy who cannot be supported. Hong Jin, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, arranges for him to follow Zhao Junchen to gain seniority and gain merit, so he will inevitably arrange an officer with real talents and knowledge to assist him, so that Hong Gaogong will not be embarrassed outside.
Being conspicuous can ruin a big thing, and the Jinyiwei Baihu just now is obviously such a character.
And such a person, after going to Shaanxi and Gansu, will obviously be much more useful than Hong Gaogong.
While thinking secretly, Zhao Junchen remained calm on the surface and said slowly: "Since we will arrive in Huailai County soon, let's go to Huailai County and rest. Since we have been working hard all morning, we can
We are not afraid of suffering for a while longer. After we arrive at Huailai County, we will feel more comfortable when we rest."
Zhao Junchen's decision is obviously to make Hong Gaogong and Bao Wenjie reconcile. For Zhao Junchen, it is a good thing that Hong Gaogong and Bao Wenjie are not getting along, but if the conflict between the two intensifies, it will be too much and it will be too much, and Zhao Junchen will need to mediate. Therefore,
A situation where the two are hostile to each other but do not directly conflict is the situation that Zhao Junchen wants to see the most, but it also requires Zhao Junchen to secretly control the scale.
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Hong Gaogong's attitude was very respectful and he immediately nodded in agreement: "Master Zhao has thought it over properly."
On the other side, Bao Wenjie glared at Hong Gaogong again, but after seeing that Hong Gaogong didn't care, he gave up the idea of arguing with Hong Gaogong, and just nodded the same way: "In that case, let's rest in Huailai County, but we can't delay
It’s too long, we will continue on our way after noon.”
Zhao Junchen nodded and agreed with Bao Wenjie's statement. After all, Zhao Junchen also wanted to get to Shaanxi and Gansu as soon as possible, so he also did not want to be delayed for too long on the road.
Then, Zhao Junchen turned his head again to look at the Jin Yiwei Baihu just now, and asked Hong Gaogong: "The Jinyiwei Baihu just looked strong and capable, and he is a talent, but I don't know his name.
Where did it come from?”
Hong Gaogong naturally saw the importance Zhao Junchen attached to it, but he did not think that this Jinyiwei Baihu could threaten his status. He just explained indifferently: "This man's name is Mao Jiadong, and he is also a legendary figure. He was originally a
He is a swordsman who is an escort, and he is very skilled in martial arts. He has gained a reputation at a young age. Once when he was escorting an escort, he encountered more than ten horse thieves. He actually fought with the horse thieves for a long time with his own strength. Although
Although he was injured all over his body, he also killed three horse thieves, but he was helplessly outnumbered. He was about to be killed by the horse thieves, but he happened to encounter Wei Daliang, the leader of the general army of Datong, passing by. After Wei Daliang rescued Mao Jiadong, he liked this
A man's bravery made him his own soldier. Mao Jiadong did not disappoint General Wei. After entering the military town, he always fought bravely and took the lead. He was especially good at cavalry combat and did not fall behind even when dealing with Mongolian cavalry.
Feng, when he was in Datong Military Town, he even developed a master of archery. He could hit the target accurately with his continuous arrows. Within a few years, he accumulated his merits and became the Deputy Qianhu of Datong Military Town. It's a pity..."
Having said this, Hong Gaogong suddenly sighed and shook his head slightly, seeming to feel sorry for Mao Jiadong.
It's not that Hong Gaogong was really feeling emotional, it's just that he wanted to increase the appeal of the story.
Sure enough, seeing Hong Gaogong like this, even Bao Wenjie on the side was attracted, hoping that Hong Gaogong could continue talking.
Zhao Junchen asked: "What happened next? Why did Mao Jiadong become one of the 100 households of Jinyiwei again?"
Hong Gaogong sighed again and said: "In Shanxi, with the protection of the General Soldier of Datong, Mao Jiadong should have had nothing to worry about, but he bumped into Liang Cheng, the governor of Shanxi at the time, and killed one of Liang Cheng's men.
My nephew asked Liang Cheng to personally go to the Datong military town to demand Mao Jiadong's life. Datong general Wei Daliang did not dare to be an enemy of the Shanxi governor, but he really liked Mao Jiadong's ability, so he randomly found a corpse and gave it to Liang Cheng
, Mao Jiadong's life was saved, but Mao Jiadong could no longer stay in Shanxi, so he sent Mao Jiadong to the capital and handed it over to his second uncle in a low-level position. The second uncle in a low-level position was a fellow soldier with General Wei and liked him equally.
Because of Mao Jiadong's bravery, he took him in and made him a member of the Jinyi Guards. This time, he took a humble position to escort Mr. Zhao westward. The second uncle was worried that there would be an accident on the way, so he asked Mao Jiadong to accompany him... This man
His temper is a bit stubborn, but he is difficult to control, but my second uncle insists on him coming, even though he is in a humble position, there is nothing he can do about it."
After hearing Hong Gaogong's introduction, Zhao Junchen nodded thoughtfully, feeling that he was quite lucky. Since Qi Bin, he seemed to have discovered another talent.
However, Qi Bin is good at training infantry, and this Mao Jiadong is good at cavalry. However, the extent of Mao Jiadong's ability needs further verification. If he has the ability to command thousands of cavalry, he will be of great use in the future!
On the other side, after hearing what Hong Gaogong said, Bao Wenjie also had a lot of emotions.
However, Mao Jiadong's experience was just a trivial matter in Bao Wenjie's eyes. Seeing that Zhao Junchen was talking well, Bao Wenjie hesitated for a moment and then asked a very sensitive topic.
…
A new plot has begun, and the bug needs to be carefully conceived, so there is only one chapter today.
Also, by the way, I would like to express my feelings. Due to the subject matter of this book, the protagonist spends most of the time in the capital city fighting with others. Now that he has finally opened a new map (t~t), Chongzi just feels that there are too many things to do.
I have written it, but because of this, I don’t know how to write it for a while. I need to sort out my thoughts!
